13-0 record Khamzat Chimaev or 2-1 record Brock Lesnar - Who deserved the title shot more?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

If everything turns out to plan for Chimaev and he beats Usman and than gets matched up to fight for the MW title. Out of Chimaev and Brock, who deserved the TS more?

Chimaev has beaten.

#1 WW - Usman
#4 WW - Gilbert Burns
#12 WW - Kevin Holland
Plus his record is 13-0

Brock has beaten

#10 HW - Heath Herring

Plus his record is 2-1

So who's more deserving for a TS?

Brock Lesnar had the WWE belt, which is the most prestigious belt in wrestling, so he has proven he was worthy of a title shot coming into the UFC

lol I guess so.

Brock because he'd fought at the weightclass he was getting a title shot in within the prior 3 years.

UFC is about popularity

Ranking and winning records mean nothing

It's not really a sport so this kinda comparison is pointless

 

[markg171]

That said Brock went and won the belt and defended it 2x so kiss my ass.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

In a legit sport sense obviously Khamzat would deserve it more. Brock got the shot largely because he was a huge star already and they wanted to capitalise before he got derailed and his stock dropped.

Maybe to you it's pointless, but there is a commonality there with Chimaev getting a TS if he beats Usman and Lesnar getting a TS after beating Heath Herring.

So if Chimaev defends the belt 3x does it make him more well deserved?

 

[Number 8]

Brock cause he brings more ppvs, ufc is business.

Bork Laser since he actually fought in the weight class against a ranked opponent.

Thank you for reminding me why he was hated back then.

Brock. Because he actually beat somebody ranked int he top 10 in his own weight class. Unless you are saying that Khamzat should fight for the 170 belt... oh that's right. He can't make weight there

It's so fucking sad and pathetic that you khamzat fans have no faith on him whatsoever. Fight 1 guy in the top 5 and he will get the title shot right away. Oh, but that's too much to ask for best middleweight on the planet I guess.

What top 10 MW has Khamzat beaten at MW?

No faith? What are you talking about. If he beats Usman and then beats Strickland for the belt than what's the big deal? The man earned his right. And then if he defends the belt 3x, than even more so.

It's not that big deal if he wins both Usman and Strickland. Than what are you going to say than? That he didn't earn that win?

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Meritocracy doesn't exist so the beast incarnate!!!!!

 

[Kenny Powerth]

This was the first thread title I saw this morning and I thought Brock was back and getting a TS

thank goodness

Why just 3x defenses? Why not 10? Why not 20? This is all your fantasy, so go crazy lol

The man hasn't earned his right, he needs to fight a contender like everyone else. Yeah, don't be scared for him. I know you are his fun but I'm sure he will win, dude. Have some faith in his skills. He doesn't need to be protected on his way to the belt. He can earn it like everyone else

 

[Spam On Rye]

Brock because he fought at HW against other HWs. Plus HW was even more shallow back then.
